# How to Remove the Spool on the Bolens BL250
The Bolens BL250 is a combination weed trimmer and brush cutter. The BL250 uses a cutting blade for making quick work of removing brush and overgrowth around your property and a standard string trimmer spool for removing weeds and trimming around your home and gardens. Removing the spool on the Bolens BL250 requires locking the inner shaft. Both the spool and the cutting blades secure to the threaded shaft. Unlike most trimmers, the bump feed on the trimmer spool of the BL250 does not disconnect the spool from the trimmer.
